| dc.description.abstract | Two experiments manipulated the study variables
associative pairing, attention, and modality, in an
attempt to produce process dissociations (Jacoby,
1991) between estimates of recollective and
automatic memory in a rhyme-based cued-recall task
with university students. The experiments examined
possible inferences drawn from earlier research
with amnesiac subjects (Warrington & Weiskrantz,
1982) which implied that phonological association
can occur in automatic or implicit memory as well
as recollective or explicit memory. Experiment 1
found that manipulations of attention and study
context affected estimates (cf. Jacoby, 1991) of
recollective but not automatic phonological
association. Experiment 2 replicated the effect of
study context on estimates of recollective but not
automatic memory and in addition found that
manipulations of modality (and repetition) affected
some estimates of automatic but had no effect on
estimates of recollective phonological association.
As found previously (see Jacoby & Dallas, 1981),
Experiment 2 found that increasing the number of
study presentations increased estimates of both
recollective and automatic memory. Combined across
the two experiments there appeared to be separate
factors affecting recollective and automatic
memory, but the evidence for automatic memory of
phonological association was mixed. | |
